Hello everybody, as some of you may know, I've recently launched a personal affiliate marketing blog, www.affmarketinginfo.com. Basically my goal is to provide all of my visitors with information, advice, and tips pertaining to affiliate marketing and how to make money online. I will give insights into successful campaigns, discuss campaigns that I'm personally running, and discuss in great lengths/detail how to market affiliate offers successfully using marketing methods such as PPC, Social Media, Email Marketing, PPV, Banner Placements/purchases, and Media Buying. Another goal of mine, which will be happening within the next few months, is to turn a friend of mine who has very limited computer experience and absolutely zero internet marketing experience into a profitable internet marketer. This will be a process over several months, but along the way I'll be discussing exactly what my friend is working on, and you'll be able to see his process along the way (noticing mistakes he may be making, or positive things he is doing). My hopes for this experiment is to not only take my friend and turn him into a profitable affiliate marketer, but to eventually do many experiments over time giving private lessons to people who are brand new to affiliate marketing and would like to participate in this same procedure, which will be published on the blog. Finally, the blog will be used to publish news, updates, and information about offers of CPATrend.com. So the idea is for this to be a valuable resource for CPATrend members, as well as potential members. The blog is still under construction, but it should be fully functional within a week. I'll be posting in it quite often, so feel free to check it out. Also, feel free to join the mailing list for exclusive insights and insider tips, as well as great promotions and offers. www.affmarketinginfo.com
Cool, best of luck. I've tried turning a friend who knew nothing about online marketing into a super affiliate before, it didn't work out. It seems there has to be some kind of drive there and you can't teach motivation.
Thanks man. The drive is certainly there. It's the know-how that is absolutely missing. I've never done any type of training course, so the idea of it is pretty exciting for me. Just have to prepare myself for it. Again, thanks for the kind words. In the meantime, do you guys have any opinions on the design? It's still in the works, but I'm pretty happy with it. Additionally, I'll be adding oDigger's API search toolbar to it, which will allow people to search for offers just as they would on oDigger. Pretty cool technology that they've innovated, I'd recommend it to anybody with an affiliate marketing blog.
I'd also like to wish you good luck. I took a look at your site and it's very professionally done. Working with others and helping them succeed is a great way to do business.
Thank you Dana, still a lot to be done with it, but I'm happy with the way it's come out so far. I'm exciting to continue writing articles, just having a couple personal things getting in the way at the moment. But I plan to write an article per day in the near future. I'm very open to ventures that may come about from this blog, so if there are any ideas looming out there, feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to discuss anything.
I need advice for where are the best places to put my affiliate directories I have one on weight loss I want to start making money. Can you give me some websites where I can list my weight loss program? thanks
Hey Phil, your blog looks pretty good. Keep up the great work buddy. Care to share some case studies and examples of how to run a profitable campaign?
Hey mtmjohn, sure, I will certainly do so in the next week or so. Just on a short vacation, but when I return on Wednesday I'll be back to work as usual .
Your's experiment sound really interesting and if that would really work, then that would be excellent material for beginners! Good luck with all your plans!
Thanks a lot guys. It's going to take me a while to really get things going, as I have lots of things going on, but once I get it running, it'll be running strong. I'm really excited for it and I will begin sending out daily emails quite soon for those on the email list with tips/information!
We just had a great interview with Phil, http://www.affiliatepaying.com/blog/interview-philip-shapiro-cpatrend/ Phil shared some great marketing tips to help you succeed. I highly recommended everyone to read it.
